Maryline et Christophe Billon
Les Corendies Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah
Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
My last bottle of the 14. Still has a few years left. Nose is so gorgeous. Sweet smoke, crushed granite, white pepper, tart blackberry. Very savory and salty in the mouth. Very mineral. Great acids. Nice length and persistence. This went wicked well with crispy-fried Szechuan beef, cutting through the sweet/spicy notes.

Another wine from Fass that I swore was Sonoma coast in a blind. Need a trip to the Rhone, what a beautifully structured Syrah.
